What is Bibimbap?
Bibimbap literally translates to “mixed rice.” It’s traditionally served in a hot stone bowl, which is my absolute favorite! But, it’s evolved and become so popular and taken a shape of its own these days.
Bibimbap is simply a bowl of hot rice topped with different sauteed vegetables, kimchi, (usually) a protein like Korean BBQ beef, topped with a fried egg and flavored with delicious gochujang sauce.
It’s one of our go-to meals for the whole family. (Maybe a little light on the vegetables for the boys; let’s be real.)
Homemade Korean Bibimbap Bowl Recipe
Stir cucumber slices in a tbsp of Gochujang and set aside. Repeat same steps with carrot slices.
Boil 2 cups of water and add spinach; cook until spinach is bright green, for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain spinach, set spinach in a bowl, add soy sauce and set aside. Repeat same steps with bean sprouts.
Saute mushroom in frying pan for five minutes. Place in a bowl and set aside.
To Cook Bulgogi: cook beef in a clean nonstick frying pan over medium heat and set aside. In a separate frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-low heat and fry the eggs, cooked to your liking.
To assemble the bibimbap bowl, divide cooked rice into 2 serving bowls; add in half of the spinach, carrots, cucumber, mushrooms, kimchi (if you have it), and bean sprouts. Top with bulgogi beef and fried egg. Drizzle 1 tsp of sesame seed oil and gochujang sauce to your liking.
Ingredients
Bibimbap is mostly about the assembly of the different toppings in the bowl. While the recipe I shared here is our go-to for easy homemade bibimbap bowl recipe, I easily swap out ingredients depending on what we have in the fridge.
